Last month, IGN reported that Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat apologized for the game’s issues and announced that owners of the Season Pass or Gold Edition (that includes the Season Pass) will receive the Dead Kings DLC and one free game from a select list of Ubisoft titles. According to the Live Update blog’s updated FAQ, users will be able to connect to a dedicated website to log in and select the free game of their choice from next week. Full details are outlined for players on the Live Updates blog.

Ubisoft issued Patch 3 late November that featured more than 300 fixes, consisting of solutions for crashes in campaign and co-op modes, various gameplay issues, and matchmaking problems.

Correction: This article previously stated that all Assassin’s Creed Unity owners are eligible for the DLC and free game. We have updated the article with the correct information and apologize for the mistake.
